Recruiting Class: New Hampshire Adds A Stellar Stopper

New Hampshire will look to improve with a new standout goaltender among their 2023-2024 recruiting class.

New Hampshire found themselves on the bottom half of Hockey East's standings this season, but they should see growth from within this season. Kira Juodikis will be key to their attack this season alongside Brianna Brooks. 

Beyond that, their offensive attack will be a score by committee situation. New Hampshire should see moderate improvements this season, and with any luck, one of their recruits will step forward 

Sedona Blair, G, 2005 - Big and athletic, Sedona Blair is one of the best incoming netminders in the nation. The five-foot-ten Blair will have the chance to earn starts immediately. In 2022 she was the third goalie for USA's U-18 national team. This year at Holy Family Catholic Blair recorded a 1.34 GAA and .947 save percentage as one of the top netminders in Minnesota high school hockey.

Sydney Leonard, F, 2005 - If there's a player who could surprise offensively, Leonard could step in and make an impact immediately. She scored 50 points in 25 games this year while captaining Mound Westonka High in Minnesota. She was a player USA U-18 national team looked at Leonard this season, and she was recognized being named to the Class 1A All-State team.

Sadie Makokis, D, 2005 - Makokis played on a strong Etobicoke Dolphins team this season. Her offensive numbers didn't quite match her output from the season prior playing U-18 'AAA' in Edmonton. That said, the experience of playing in the OWHL U22 Elite will aid Makokis next season at the NCAA level. To close out her season, Makokis was selected to play for Team Alberta at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships.
